Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
is concerned with a simulation architecture which will provide a flexible framework into which software models of the physical world and vehicle components can be inserted. The framework will allow some software models to be exchanged with physical hardware produced towards the end of the programme. The simulation architecture will be a tool for specifying and evaluating new vehicles which may be part of any TUUV3 follow up programme. The project aims to harness the unique power of neutron scattering techniques to study both static and dynamic processes in catalytic systems. To this end we will develop a versatile range of in situ cells for use in both elastic and inelastic scattering studies of catalysts under real catalytic conditions. The cells will be implemented on the powder diffractometers and inelastic neutron spectrometers of the ISIS facility, and will be available generally to the academic and industrial catalysis communities. The range of applications planned by the consortium managing the project include (I) in situ diffraction experiments unloaded microporous catalysts; (ii) diffraction studies of acid sites in solid acid catalysts; (iii) structural investigations of complex metal oxide, partial oxidation catalysts; (iv) inelastic scattering studies of methanol synthesis and desulphurisation catalysts.Close liaison will be maintained between the project and related development with synchrotron radiation techniques at the RS and ESRF.
